Following the elimination of Naxalism, Kanker Police has launched ‘Mission Rakshak’, an initiative to prepare local youth for recruitment in security forces. The programme provides free training for physical tests and written examinations across five locations in Kanker district: Aamabeda, Antagarh, Bhanupratappur, Koyelibeda and Pakhanjur. A large number of young people, including many women, are participating in the training.
